""""Sen. Barack Obama heads into his nominating convention in Denver next week on the skids:""""""
No its even worse, its 5-6 points ahead jerky.
Does this article seem like overt cheerleading for Obama?
Yes, it must move more to the Left...
No, I think it was a pretty fair assessment of where he is failing in a time when he shouldn’t be. He lost a lot of ground to a guy that divides his own party for crying out loud.
Also, Obama was riding consistently high in the polls a couple of months ago, with leads as great as 12 points or more in some polls. His victory over a conservative septuagenarian after eight years of a Republican in the White House with gas prices at a record high, the dollar plummeting and the housing market in chaos seemed assured.
We all knew the race would tighten up as the campaign wore on. Even Hillary privately told lotsa super delegates that Obama couldn’t win the general election. She may have been right, we’ll see Nov. 4th. But the fact is that lotsa people are not the political junkies who follow every nuance of the campaign. Millions of voters are just now starting to pay attention as the conventions are coming up.
And the moderate/independent/swing voters, whatever term you want to use, will decide this election. I think it will be close. Obama will carry the northeastern states, the upper midwest, and the Pacific coast states. McCain will do very well in the south and the midwest/great plains states. It may all come down to Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Florida, Colorado, and Virginia, when you look at how the other states are lining up now in the state by state polls.
“Drift and complacency are dooming Obama’s campaign”.

Dear Lord ... Please, may it be so . Thank you Father that you hear me always. Amen.
The Obama campaign is suffering the usual fate of a relationship founded solely on projection ... the one projecting the hopes and desires upon the other, eventually awakens to the actual thing upon which the projections have been made ... as in ‘the bloom is off the rose’. We all know what dried, dead flowers look like and it ain’t pretty. Axelrod’s strategy got the projection screen past the Rodham rodent, but the emptiness is now becoming painfully obvious. There are still millions of stupid democrat voters who will vote fro the empty screen because they refuse to awaken to adulthood.
Astonishing. Either he’s working for hillary, or he represents an extinct species back from the grave: an honest reporter in the MSM.
There’s even this: “However, the mainstream U.S. media have magnified and even distorted McCain’s every hiccup and ignored the far more numerous gaffes from Obama.”
Of course, he never mentions any of Obama’s actual gaffes, but the entire article, except for one or two brief phrases, is a put-down of Obama as an inexperienced, weak candidate.
I am an Obama detractor but this article seems almost unrealistically negative. They’re making it sound like Obama has no chance when he still is not in that bad of a position. Republicans could get overconfident.
Well, maybe I am being too critical.
I love their analysis of Paris Hilton’s energy plan.
It’s because Obama’s GPS is stuck on “Turn Left!”
You’re right not to be over-confident. But I do believe if McCain stays steady, picks a pro-life veep it’s his election to lose. PA, NH, Conn, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan could all swing his way if he doesn’t have any senior moments.
We must not get over confident. I think much will depend on turnout of all the NEW voters that Obama has attracted. New voters often don;t show up ... unless they are energized.
And, what’s up with the house thing? When has it becme a crime to own property? Man, if that were the case, then Jaun Kerry should have been hanged. Did you ever aee the houses he & Taraza own? Of course, not to mention the Rezko deal.
YES!!
Wonder how all those folks who dumped contributions on this guy will feel that they didn’t “buy” access to the White House but bought OBAMA a NEW house — or 3 or 4 — in Florida?
It is the neo-populist new generation that has been eating the rat party alive since 1968, yet somehow every time they destroy the party they disavow any blame and assume more of its kommossariats.
He’s counting on this database of text addresses he’s building, to announce his running mate, to be able to reach out and touch them on election day.
It made him look like a young man making fun of an old man.............And BTW, most of the real estate in this country is owned by old people. Not a good way to endear yourself to them..............
